3 Best Restaurants in Okanagan Wine Country, British Columbia

Pane Vino

$$ Fodor's choice
This family-owned farm-to-table pizzeria serves authentic Naples ‘za in the heart of Lake Country. It’s conveniently located next to the electric bike rental shop: following an afternoon of touring the Okanagan Rail Trail or Lake Country wineries on two wheels, you’ll be sure to stop in here for some Italian comfort food.

Ratio Coffee & Pastry

$$ Fodor's choice

This laid-back coffee shop is a Vernon gem. They feature a different pastry every day of the week, from eclairs (Tuesday), cakes (Wednesday), and doughnuts (Friday). Arrive early, these delicious masterpieces sell out quick (especially on Donut Friday).

Sonora Room Restaurant

$$$ Fodor's choice

Start with a picture-perfect backdrop overlooking the vineyards, add a contemporary market-driven menu, top it off with expert service, and the result is one of the Okanagan's finest dining experiences. With its high-beamed ceilings and wood floors, the interior is rustic, but the best seats are on the terrace looking out across the fields. The menu changes every year but you might find dishes like seared tuna with beets or duck breast with parsnip and sweet potato. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner daily from May through mid-October, but keeps more limited hours off-season.
